Small powerboat design recommendation

I am looking for recommendations for stitch and glue (or similar simple build) powerboat able to deal with reasonably rough weather. Bateau's Carolina Sportfish and Abaco 23 designs look interesting - does anyone have any experience of these? Or are there other designs people could recommend I look at? Thanks

 

I have personally driven this one. Very much an offshore capable boat.

If you want to contact the designer, then contact me privately as the details in the article aren't current. I can put you in contact.
